Necessary and sufficient conditions for quantum Hamiltonians to be exactly solvable within mean-field theories have not been formulated so far. To resolve this problem, first, we define what mean-field theory is, independently of a…
We develop theoretical diagnostics for the breakdown of mean-field theory, demonstrate how spatial structure and finite interaction ranges enter the effective description, and show how these scales qualitatively modify the…
We consider two model field theories on a noncommutative plane that have smooth commutative limits. One is the single-component fermion theory with quartic interaction that vanishes identically in the commutative limit. The other is a…
A multi-chain mean-field theory is developed and applied to a two-dimensional system of weakly coupled S=1/2 Heisenberg chains. The environment of a chain C_0 is modeled by a number of neighbor chains C_d, d = +/-1,...,+/-n, with the edge…
We investigate a class of quantum field theories with relativistic Luttinger fermions and local self-interaction in scalar channels. For an understanding of possible low-energy phases, we first classify the set of mass terms arising from…

Exactly solvable many-body systems are few and far between, and the utility of approximate methods cannot be overestimated. Entanglement mean field theory is an approximate method to handle such systems. While mean field theories reduce the…
The objective of this article is to analyse the statistical behaviour of a large number of weakly interacting diffusion processes evolving under the influence of a periodic interaction potential. We focus our attention on the combined mean…
Assuming that the effect of the residual interaction beyond mean-field is weak and has a short memory time, two approximate treatments of correlation in fermionic systems by means of Markovian quantum jump are presented. A simplified…
We consider spin systems with long-range interactions in nonadditive regime. When the non-additive scaling limit is employed, the energy and the entropy compete and the system exhibits some phase transitions. Such systems do not satisfy the…
We show that the time-dependent nonlinear Schrodinger equation of mean-field theory has limited utility for a one-dimensional condensate of impenetrable bosons. Mean-field theory with its associated order parameter predicts interference…
We study the convergence problem of mean-field control theory in the presence of state constraints and non-degenerate idiosyncratic noise. Our main result is the convergence of the value functions associated to stochastic control problems…
A method is presented for numerical implementation of the extended TDHF theory in which two-body correlations beyond the mean-field approximation are incorporated in the form of a quantal collision term. The method is tested in a model…
The relativistic mean-field theory provides a framework in which the nuclear many-body problem is described as a self-consistent system of nucleons and mesons. In the mean-field approximation, the self-consistent time evolution of the…
The dynamical mean-field concept of approximating an unsolvable many-body problem in terms of the solution of an auxiliary quantum impurity problem, introduced to study bulk materials with a continuous energy spectrum, is here extended to…
We introduce a self-consistent mean-field quantum optimization algorithm that approximates the ground state of classical Ising Hamiltonians. The algorithm decomposes the problem into independent subproblems and treats the interactions…
In this work, we consider general exchangeable quantum mean-field Hamiltonian such as the prominent quantum Curie-Weiss model under the influence of a random external field. Despite being arguably the simplest class of disordered quantum…
We investigate the mean-field limit for interacting particle systems through a duality-based framework and obtain quantitative estimates on the convergence of marginals as well as on correlation functions. In particular, for merely…
The time evolution of a closed system of mean fields and fluctuations is Hamiltonian, with the canonical variables parameterizing the general time-dependent Gaussian density matrix of the system. Yet, the evolution manifests both quantum…
In the present note, a summary of selected aspects of time-dependent mean-field theory is first recalled. This approach is optimized to describe one-body degrees of freedom. A special focus is made on how this microscopic theory can be…
